The Light Copter, also known as a Light Chopper, is a vehicle introduced in TRON: Uprising. It was used by Clu's forces during his takeover of the grid. It strongly resembles a helicopter.

History

After being sent by General Tessler to seek out a renegade program, Paige utilized a light copter to pursue her target. After Paige and Beck engaged briefly in disc combat, the Guardsman piloting the copter was derezzed by Beck, who attempted to use the craft in his own escape. Paige, however, also managed to get on board, and the two continued their duel. The battle damaged the light copter, but Beck was able to flee the vessel. Paige was left to land it back on Tessler's command ship.

Later, General Tessler decided to confront Beck himself. Although the general was an extremely skilled combatant, Beck was able to sever his arms, sending him falling onto a light rail. Shortly thereafter, Paige rescued him in a light copter.

Characteristics

Light Copters are weaponized transport vehicles with swishing blades of energy for the rotors. These vehicles are used primarly by the military. Light copters are armed with dual cannons, one mounted on each side of the cockpit. A small, open bay is utilized by the copter's passengers. Light copters possess significant speed, but cannot rival that of a light jet. They can also hover in place.
